This interactive workshop provides school leadership a space to explore and deepen an awareness of stress, trauma, and grief, their impacts on students, teachers and schools, as well as ways to effectively address them through the lens of recovery and renewal. As school systems continue to navigate uncertainty on a variety of fronts, the impacts of these challenges will continue to be felt by students and staff.  How might we continue our trauma-informed leadership not only during crisis (e.g., COVID 19, a student death, wildfire) but through and after to strengthen our school climate? Together, we:

• Distinguish between stress, trauma and grief, and connect those concepts to their personal and professional experiences in school communities navigating the pandemic and other crisis events.
• Identify ways that stress, trauma, and grief relate to our school crisis leadership approach(es), and what we would like to start, stop and sustain in our practice.
• Apply the principles of school crisis recovery and renewal to school site and system leadership, and larger school culture.

Join us to resource ourselves, resource each other, and to then resource the school communities we lead.
